Chicago's Social Customs.

The West Side women out kiss any
other division of Chicago. The South
Siders kiss discreetly, and the bellies
and natrons along the lake shore are
too cosmopolitan to waste their sweet
ness. Their greeting is the hand shak-
ing prescribed by London and endorsed
by the patricians of Newport and
Murray Hill. Meet a Rush or Uass
Street lady and she frankly proffers her
easily gleYed hand and shakes from the
shoulder to one-tWo count. Her
pretty cousin on Bellevue Avenue and
lake shore drive is more artistic, and
her arm is rigid to the elbow up. Go
still farther north and the carefully
schoo4ed young wife and her queenly
sister shake hands, but never an inch
Of the arm.---Iateq- Ocean.

FIGHTING OFF THE RuHA.

Such are some parts of the Mexican
States of Tabasco and Yucstan, and it
is through such regions that the tele-
graph which connects the Mexican
| capital with important points like Juan
Baptista or San Cristobal must pene-
trate. This is country where the
linemen go in couples and armed with
rifles to fight off the fierce puma" or

SERVICE IN THE HOT LANDS,

Depredations of Rancheros-Other
Enemies Besides Man.

Like the land OF Grecian fable, Mexico
is paradise grit with fire. There ere
at least three distinct climates-that OF
the TERRA Fria, or Cold Land, up in
the mountains that of the TERRA Tenn
plads, Temperate Land, on the plateau,
and extending down the slop" toward
the coast q few scores OF miles, and,
lastly, that of the TERRA Caliente, or
Hot Land, which takes in the coast on
the Pacific and Atlantic sides with also
some Of the sloping country.
The TERRA Templada is, at the north
country, characterized by vast treeless
plains, over which must be hauled by
railway, or by cart where the railway
does not penetrate, the poles aud wire
for the lines. Oftentimes great loads of
poles, cut liz the forests around Toluca
or Paizcuaro, in the southern part of
the republic, have to be slowly and
laboriousiy hauled over the hot plains
of chihuahua and put in place by men
who carry their rations for days with
them. The cost of the poles and the
wire is necessarily greatly enhanced by
the transportation, and it may be said
that telegraph wire, placed almost any
where in Mexico, costs the government
three times what it did landed at Vera
Cruz or Paso del Norte.
Travellers on horseback in nor thern
Mexico, traversing these vast, treeiess
and melancholy PLAINS stop at night for
camp, and finding the telegraph poles
accessible and admirably seasoned, cut
them down for freWoeG. And &his is
not all. The humble ranchers, desiring
stock eff wire with which to fence in
al Enclosure, goes with his peon ser
wants and cuts down a mile or TWO for
use, leaving poles oftentimes PROSTATE.

also long stretches of wire without poles

with and of them. He was fairly tried and
convicted of crime for which the severest
penalty of the law was not too great. He
should be permitted to serve out his entire
term so that his case may stand as warning
to political pirates. The criminals of which
he is type have been growing too bold of
late and the crimes they practice too frequent.
The public welfare requires that the law be
enforced against them to the fullest extent.
AS they fear nothing but the law, and even
defy and violate that, they should be made to
feel its full weight. The movement for,the
pardon Of Mackin is in the interest of political
piracy and should not succeed.

LET HIM SERVE OUT HIS TIME,

There is a movement to secure the pardon
of Joe Mackin, the Chicago boss, who Is now
serving a term in the Joliet penitentiary
for perjury in connection with election
frauds 1t ought not to succeed, and
if the Governor of Illinois is made of the right
kind of stuff it will not succeed. The crime
of which Mackin stands convicted is one of
the worst in the calendar In popular gov
eminent there is no higher crime than that
against the ballot. 1t is worse than burglary,
robbery, grand larceny, arson or any crime
against property; worse, really, than homicide
or any crime against the person, for while
these affect only individuals the crime against
the ballot affects the entire body-politic and
aims stab at the heart of the Republic. The
man who poisons his enemy deserves the Sc
verest penalty of the law, but the one who
poisons well and decmates neighborhood,
or who scatters an infection that destroys
whole communities, is a wretch for whom any
form of capital punishment is too good. The
crime against the ballot is worse than an ordi-
nary crime by as much it strikes
at more vital part in the
cial system and affects greater
number of people, In this country it is a
crime of comparatively recent origin and is
confined to large cities and to the class of
political workers found there. The condi-
lions of modern society and politics have
developed class of men absolutely devoid of
honesty or conscientious scruples and who
engage in politics for what they can make out
of it directly or indirectly. They are political
pirates. They are found in all large cities,
nd of course in Chicago. Joe Mackin was

At that point he found quite a little local
rebellion. The hotels were closed against him
and his posse, the sheriff refused to let them
camp in the courthouse yard, and they were

SAYS Harper's Weekly of this week:

''The mugwump confidence in Mr.. Cleve-
land has been generally vindicated. He was
a Democrat, and he announced frankly that
his administration would be Democratic. He
has taken Democratic counsel, and in the
treatment of the civil service he has unques-
tionably disappointed the expectations of the
best friends of reform. The pressure and ira
ditions of his party have been too strong for
him, they were too strong for General
Grant and President Hayes, and Garfield, and
Arthur. But"
The rest of the article is of considerable
length and is not worth while to print. the
substance of it can be briefly stated AL
though, as mentioned above, the President
has done nothing that the mugwumps expect
ed of him, their confidence is indicated, be-
cause his intentions good, and therefore
they will stand by him. A solicitous public
